My story of what its like to be married to an Amway cult follower. I expose the lies that our upline told and what happens at Amway meetings and functions. I leave the explanations of why Amway is a poor business opportunity or the tool scam to other bloggers. This blog mainly exists to curse out my former upline, aka the cult leaders, and to let everyone know what kind of idiots I had to put up with. Feel free to join in or live vicariously!

The American Dream Ain’t Fucking Amway

I read an article about how the concept of the American Dream has changed.
And that might be due to changing technology and job and travel opportunities.
People don't have to stay in the little town they grew up in.

The things most people want out of life have changed from when we were kids.
What our parents felt was the American Dream and what younger generations think
it is is miles apart..

Our parents owned nice houses. They owned businesses. They had nice cars. They
had a few toys like a color TV and a new fangled dishwasher. And got
cablevision. Oh and what about that big old microwave oven! Our parents liked
having a few toys and taking vacations. They liked to redecorate the house
every few years with new carpets and new furniture. They didn't have debt. They
had investments.

And speaking of debt - credit cards didn’t really come around in full swing
until about 30 or 40 years ago and not everyone was convinced plastic was
better than cash. In this day and age not everyone carries cash they mostly
keep credit cards in their wallets.

The American dream of our parents was a lot simpler.

What's the American Dream today? Is it still to own a house, a car and a
business? Probably to some people depending on if they're following their
parent's lead. Technology has rapidly changed. Owning the latest gadgets aren't
kitchen appliances anymore. They're phones, cars, and computers and other
electronics. People get jobs if they don't own a business. They have credit
cards. They have debt.

And then one day a fucking Amway asshole walks up to them and taunts them
about how they'd like to be debt free. Living their dreams. Walking the beaches
of the world. Have gazillions of dollars in residual income rolling in every
month in the next 2 to 5 years.

And the Amway asshole browbeats the prospect into demanding to know what
their dream is. And whatever the prospect says the dream will never be good
enough for an Amway fucker. The prospect says they want to own a house. The
Amway asshole says dream big you want to own a mansion. The prospect says they
want to buy a Ford Mustang and the Amway fucker says dream big you want to own
a Bentley. The prospect says they’d like to take a vacation in Italy. The Amway
asshole says no you want to spend a week on a private Caribbean Island named
Peter and have 24 hour servants taking care of all you.

In other words whatever your dream is it’ll never be big enough for Amway
the Cult of Greed.

Amway has destroyed the dreams of many people. Amway is like a hurricane of
mass destruction leaving in its path debt, divorce, foreclosure, bankruptcy,
eviction. That’s the real path of Ambots following the Amway Cult of Greed.

If you want a better life for yourself and your family stay the hell away from
Amway.

The American dream isn’t all about selling shitty overpriced products. The
American dream isn’t all about selling $40 Amway laundry soap when shoppers
prefer to buy $10 Tide laundry soap at Walmart that gets the clothes cleaner.
The American dream isn’t all about self consuming $300 in shitty overpriced
Amway products every month just to get a $10 check. The American dream isn’t
lying and scamming people that perfect water cures cancer or any other terminal
illness. For Christ sakes aren’t there enough scammers in the world selling
snake oil that Amway had to compete?

The American dream isn’t all about tithing the Great Amway God in a pyramid
scheme where the only ones making money are the ones sitting at the top of the
pyramid who got in a long time ago.

Can’t people searching for the American dream find one with better odds of
success than a fraction of 1%.

The American dream is a better lifestyle choice than the shitty plan offered
by Amway chasing a dumb fuck dream with over 99% failure rate.

The American dream ain’t getting scammed out of your money by a lying scamming
fucking Amway asshole.

The American dream ain’t Amway. Except for brainwashed Ambots who believe in
fairy tales.

Hey! First off thank you for this blog, it’s a huge help! I’m doing research right now about how and why AMWAY and WWDB is a scam. I have 2 really close friends who got involved with AMWAY and WWDB a few months ago and I’ve noticed a big difference in them. They are extremely loyal to the upper lines or whatever and are super secretive about thier “buisness”. These were some red flags to me about what they were getting involved in, they began spamming all thier social media with books, posts, quotes and advice about things thier mentors have told them. Thier always talking about “The Buisness” and always looking to tell (recruit) people for it and doing something they call “dream building” when they first started they tried to recruit me to it but I didn’t show any interest when they told me about it and why took the hint. One of the major red flags I got about thier “buisness” is how vague and secretive they are whenver they talk to anyone about what it is they’re actually doing. They say it’s Policy because ethey don’t want to share their buisness plan with anyone who isn’t interested in actually joining. They also always talk about how rich and successful they are going to be in 1 or 2 years and how they’re sad for people who don’t believe in thier success and that they’ll see once thier rich. So to me it’s pretty fucking obvious that thier involved in a pyramid scheme and huge fucking scam. They are also cultishly dedicated and loyal to thier buisness and uppers. How do I tell them hat it’s a scam? These are 2 people that I’m extremely close with, i have a lot of love for them and I don’t want them to go any deeper without really knowing what it is thier getting into and without knowing the facts. Please help me, thier basically brainwashed and I don’t know how to help them. How did the person you’re married to relize it’s all fake?? How can I show them the hole thier getting into?

Hi Ariana. Sorry to hear about your friends but I'm glad you found the blog. It's the place to vent and curse out the fucking Amway assholes!

If you haven't already done so download a free ebook called Merchants of Deception. You'll see the link on the right side of the page under more info about Amway. If you can get your friends to read it too. It's a real life horror story about a former Emerald with 1000 people in his downline who was making $2-$3,000/month and figuring out he got lied to about the expected compensation. Amway is a blame the victim scam so if you try to get your friends to read it they'll just claim he didn't try hard enough. Anyway it'll help you understand a lot about the Amway cult. The stuff the former Emerald says is still happening today, the way Ambots talk and the secrecy.

All cults are very secretive. Amway and their Ambots are no different. Ambots have been calling Amway "the business" for decades to avoid saying the A word.

Most Ambots quit Amway within a few months when they realize they got scammed and the only chance of making money is by scamming others. 95% of participants quit Amway within 2 years so the odds are on your side that your friends will quit sooner rather than later. Less than a tiny fraction of 1% of Ambots make money. Flip it around and Amway has over 99% failure rate. If you can get one of your Ambot friends to show you an Amway brochure with compensation listed, look at the small print where Amway states how many people can expect to make money. I'd say if a man with 1000 in his downline can't make money what chance do your friends have.

Anonymous - are you sure you're not an Ambot and only getting your news from the fucking assholes in the Amway upline? And Amway losers are always demanding to know where people get their information but even when the truth slaps an Ambot in the face they still refuse to believe anything that isn't spoken by an Amway cult leader. This was all over the news last year and late night comedians making jokes. You don't have to put in much effort to find it. Here's a link to a story from CBS https://www.cbsnews.com/news/betsy-devos-grizzlies-wyoming-when-asked-about-guns-in-schools/

I'm not an Ambot but I wasn't clear either...I was surprised if it was true then Amway just gotten into an all time low...fuck me Amway...but yea I must've missed this. Anyway thank for the link, I honestly did not know about this.

Anonymous - whether or not you're an Ambot - who knows because all Ambots lie that they're in Amway because it's really fucking embarrassing to admit you're an Amway loser. Perception. If you use Amspeak people will assume you're an Ambot. And all Ambots will not accept any truth other than what is told to them by the Amway cult leaders. Even when the truth is slapping them in the face like the sky is blue, if the Amway cult leader says the sky is green the Ambot will argue that to the death and demand to know where you got your information to prove otherwise.

Then the turn the tables and ask the Ambot to prove something. That's when you'll get lie, deny, defend and distract.

Anyway I walked or rode my bike to school for 12 years and never once did I see a bear.

It must've been Kuma from Tekken, he crossed over our world!! (it's a joke), What kids should do is take psychology class and get away people that speak like a nonsensical robot...or anybody that fucking smiles a lot.

There's one time Markiplier once said about Forrest Gump in his video if you're a fan(or not), he even mentioned "There's no way you can be that stupid and be successful in life with that" I promised you he did said it.

Amway sounded like one of those religious nut cases and after I researched a couple of websites, it turns out to be supporting a Far Right Wing red republican extreme christian group. If you're an Atheist you should get out just a piece of advice. I'm pretty sure most will get out of it if they're honest for what they say.

KMB - Amway's hiring practices doesn't surprise me. Amway's owners are able to buy their way out of a lot of things.

There are quite a few bloggers who take on Amway. Not to mention people talking about how Amway destroyed their lives on various forums like Reddit. You see Amway and Ambots hate the 1st Amendment. It's not against the law to talk about your true experiences or to have an opinion. Not matter how much Amway losers want to make that a law! In their minds only.

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!

If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.

About Me

I'm married to a former Ambot - one of those annoying commissioned Amway salespeople. Fortunately he saw the light of the horrible cult he was part of and ended his association. I'm here to report on the crap he took and I had to put up with. Hoping I might be able to help some poor souls who find themselves in the same situation I was - married to an ambot.
